[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is advanced (test scores to prove it) started reading at 4. I do not tell people this!!!! Especially people with similar aged children. I'm proud of her and I see her doing great things but I don't need to announce it to everyone though. If it's something special yes I'll share it will family but I'm not posting on Facebook she's reading Harry Potter at 6 and writing her own plays!!! I was a teacher and have seen kids of all levels! All children learn and grow at a different pace, I remember one child I taught was off the charts gifted but was considered "below" in kindergarten/first. But by the time I had him in 2nd grade it was clear to me he was gifted (the next year it was confirmed in 3rd grade). You never know! But I guarantee people aren't jealous they just think you are bragging. [/quote]

Kids also have different gifts. My 6 year old tested at a FSIQ at the 99th percentile and enjoys doing multiplication. She can do 200-300 piece puzzles without much trouble. Reading is more of a challenge for her. She isn’t behind, but certainly isn’t ahead.

The only people who know about her abilities other than my husband and I are her grandparents and her teachers.[/quote]
